Anyone familiar with vintage VOX guitar date codes?

Hi All,

I have this old VOX (Made In Italy) Bass. It's a violin shaped bass, looks a bit like a "Beatles" bass. Has a rather nice "target burst" alike finish.
Anyway at the neck plate is the following numeral code "245429" Would that help finding the actual production year? I guess It's 60ties, but I would like to know more precisely.

Thanks!

Email Jack at Phantom Guitar Works.  He has dozens of old Vox guitars, and may know.

Thanks Jet-Set! I contacted Jack and he got in touch with me very quickly. He could not precisely date the instrument, but he did find out it is most likeley pre-1967. Aparently Italian made Vox instruments are almost impossilbe to correctly date, due the ever changing production and instrument parts.
